It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there commenting on the football results, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Ebley and put the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Volvo V40 rental in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
• Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
• A lot of smoke (more than usual)
• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT receipt.
3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
